I’m quite aware that Fred is out. And that is a real shame, because he seemed to be the most conservative of the bunch. Let’s go over my list shall we? We are left with—
Hillary— an evil communist who reminds me of Cruella DeVille from 101 Dalmations
Obama- A fascist black Muslim
McCain- An open-borders fellow with a lisp —He is “an odd man”
And Romney- anyone who knows ANYTHING about him, please get back to me. And he’s a Mormon, and now we’re supposed to love Mormonism. Hey isn’t that peachy! Let’s make him President.
And don’t worry about my previous post— it’s been deleted by the Mods, so it doesn’t have to offend you anymore! That bad old comment can’t scare you anymore! It’s gone! Thank goodness. Imagine what kind of world we’d have if people could speak their minds. I shudder to think. You’re okay now!
When are people gonna admit that the MOST conservative person is not always the best candidate for the GOP.
If that were true, Pat Buchanan would have easily defeated Bush the father.
And Buchanan would have won over Bob Dole.
And Barry Goldwater would have defeated Lyndon Johnson.
It takes MUCH more than just being a hard-line conservative to win over the trust of the public.
Voters want to LIKE their candidate for President.
They want to believe that a candidate understands and empathizes with the vast portion of the population.
People want to trust their preferred candidate.
Duncan Hunter was certainly the strongest conservative, but his personality was just too dour and not-likable.
As for Fred, people didn't think he had enough energy and stamina to do the job of president.
That's another way of saying that people think (as did I) that Fred is past his prime, and would not be able to handle the rigors of the Presidency.
And then there is this. Most FredHeads are moving to Mitt. http://blog.electromneyin2008.com/2008/01/24/new-fredheads-for-mitt-banners/
